Targeting Those most in Need:
Winners and Losers (The 1994 Conference)

Recent policy developments have encouraged the targeting of services on those most in need.

But there are strong arguments which suggest that if social care services concentrate only or mainly on those most in need, there is a danger that preventative services may become marginalised, thus building up for trouble later.
